Satoransky has a Tony Parker like game it seems. I was more impressed by his video then Fournier.

Fournier looks like he has some gothic boy makeup or something. From that video I would tell he has the fundamentals but hasn't shown much of speed not athletic ability. But I don't really know him.

who do you guys like the best out of these options:
fournier
barton
english
jenkins
d lamb
cunningham
o johnson
johnson-odom

Cunningham
D. Lamb
English

That being said, I have very limited viewing of Barton, Fournier, or Johnson.

I think this trade changes our pick here. Kim English suddenly isn't a guy we probably look at. Assuming we are able to get 24 from the Cavs and address SF at either 4 or 24, 31 would be a great place to find a pass first PG to put behind Kemba and Gordon. Kemba and Gordon are both scorers, not necessarily passers. It would be nice if we could find a PG who may not score as well, but has a real feel for the court. A way lesser Kendal Marshall. Any PG like that in the 2nd?

Scott Machado comes to mind with almost 10 assists per game. Other guys that are more projected to the top of the 2nd but are less passers are Tyshawn Taylor and Tony Wrotten. Both bring more size than Machado.

I was thinking the same, seems like a good time to get a big point guard.

Wroten, Taylor and possibly that Satoransky fella.

Not a fan of Taylor. Wroten is an awful shooter. English and Jenkins I think are still in play. Ben will only be here a couple years.

I'm telling yah, we should look at Cunningham here. Fairly athletic 6'5-6" guard that can play both positions.

Satoransky looks like real life Dean Venture.

A big Pg will also allow us to play Kemba off the ball as well.

If we don't draft a PG, we should try to get Shaun Livingston back.

We should draft Darius Johnson-Odom and see if it causes Gordon to have an existential crisis.

I rather have Livingston back then any other PG in this draft, he would be an amazing fit with Kemba

I think he could be a nice pickup if we land those Cleveland second rounders. He is 6-7 and is a pass first point guard. Kills two birds with one stone, plus you could always stash him if we do not want that many rookies.

With either of those guys we'd be better of leaving it in Kemba's hands. Both turn it over way too much. Wroten can't shoot a lick, and Tyshawn's decision making is just all over the place. I'd stay away from those 2 guys to be honest. I agree though having a big PG would be nice though, but i'd rather have one that values the ball a bit more.

We already have 6'5" Cory Higgins as backup PG (yep, still bitter).

But seriously, if we don't take TRob with the #2 pick, then I'd like to see us consider at #31:
Kyle O'Quinn
Rebounding #s:
TRob 2.9 Oreb 9.0 Dreb 11.9 reb
O'Quinn 3.2 Oreb 7.2 Dreb 10.3 reb
